Iftar 24': Connection & Community

-

On the warm evening of April 8th, the Rotaract Club and Student Association of CCS joined hands to host a beautiful Iftar gathering - Iftar 24'. It was a night that transcended cultural boundaries, fostering a spirit of understanding and togetherness.

It wasn't just about delicious food, although the spread was undeniably amazing. Attendees were treated to an insightful presentation that delved into the rich history of Ramadan, its significance, and its traditions. This educational aspect played a key role in bridging the gap between cultures, allowing everyone to appreciate the depth of this holy month.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the presence of our esteemed guest, AshSheik Ahmadh Yasir Ismail. His captivating sermon not only resonated with the Muslim community but also offered valuable lessons for everyone present. The emphasis on the importance of community resonated deeply, reminding us of the strength found in unity and shared experiences.

A heartfelt thank you to AshSheik Ahmadh Yasir Ismail for sharing his wisdom and enriching our understanding. We are grateful to everyone who participated in making Iftar 24' such a special event. It was a true testament to the power of community and the importance of celebrating diversity.
